the Thickness of the Muscles and Pain in Impingement Syndrome

Pain intensity will be measured with visual analog scale. Sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingement syndrome, serratus anterior muscle, upper trapezius and middle trapezius will be measured with USG in patients diagnosed with impingement and meeting the criteria and healthy volunteers.

About this study

Patients diagnosed with impingement and meeting the criteria will be included, while the healthy group will consist of hospital staff who do not have shoulder pain and who are not diagnosed with a shoulder-related disease. Pain intensity will be measured with VAS (visual analog scale), the sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingement syndrome, the serratus anterior muscle, the upper trapezius and the middle trapezius will be measured with USG.

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 18-65 years
  • Cognitive ability to understand test instructions
  • Symptom duration longer than 1 month
  • At least two positive Neer, Hawkins and painful arch tests

for healty volunteers

  • 18-65 years
  • cognitive ability to understand test instructions
  • negative impingment test

Exclusion criteria

  • Fibromyalgia
  • cervical radiculopathy
  • those who have received injections or physical therapy in the last month
  • Those with a disorder that may affect shoulder joint range of motion and muscle mass (previous fracture, surgery, subluxation)

Treatment and study plan

muscle thickness

Diagnostic Test

Pain intensity will be measured with visual analog scale, sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingement syndrome, muscle thickness of serratus anterior muscle, upper trapezius and middle trapezius with USG in patients diagnosed with impingement and meeting the criteria and healthy volunteers.

Primary outcomes

  1. sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingment syndrome

    Time frame: baseline

    The distance between the acromion and the greater tuberosity will be measured in both neutral and dynamic positions, and the disease severity will be assessed according to the ratio between these two data.
